Well the virus has now killed more than 100 people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| So you don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| That this is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room. | ||

Pandemic. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Talk about the surges. | ||
| Those children are still in classrooms? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Some of them, they had the options. | |
| They were able to send their children or not send them. | ||
| Same option that we're asking for. | ||
| Because it is parents, you know? | ||
| It is parents that don't want their kids to go to school. | ||
| But it's a lot of parents that do. | ||
| The purpose of your suit is to make sure that parents that want their children to go into a classroom can get them into a classroom? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That all children is going to a classroom, yes. | |
| That is, and for them to allow our children to go to school five days a week. | ||
| Because what they want to do is send our children to school three days a week, and then they want to turn around and have half in school and half out of school. | ||
| So some will be on Zoom and some will go to school. | ||
| And we mainly want high school and junior high school students in class. | ||
| They need to be in class. | ||
| I spoke to a parent yesterday and she said her daughter was getting all A's and she got a report and she's failing. | ||
| Her daughter was getting A's before they went to Zoom. | ||
| What is your assessment, no matter how well-intentioned, of this Zoom learning, where kids are just sitting there? | ||
| What's your assessment of that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve, it's no good. | |
| It's horrible. | ||
| The babies, they're not even sitting that long, 10 minutes. | ||
| They're not even sitting 10 to 15 minutes, let alone 30 minutes. | ||
| Now, what Long Beach has done, because the kids are back in school, They split the hours. | ||
| So Long Beach, I did a study on Long Beach and they, they used to go to school from nine in the morning to three or 2.35. | ||
| And now they're the ones that's option to stay home. | ||
| They don't get in class until 12 o'clock and to get out at three. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So they get in three hours. | ||
| Lydia, the parents in Watts, you're the founder of Women of Watts, the parents in South Central and Watts that are part of this LA Unified School District and the kids go, if they're working parents and they obviously are working at jobs that they're not making the money maybe to send them to private school, how do they handle, if the kids are at home and the school is not open and they have to Zoom, how do the parents juggle that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kids at home, about exactly. | |
| Just being honest with you. | ||
| And so then it's up to the children, it's up to the kids themselves whether they pay attention or not? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or you see the teenager that's maybe in high school trying to focus on the elementary school and she's getting behind because she's taking care of the little brother or the little sister to help them stay focused. | |
| So she's missing out on what she needs to be doing in her class. | ||
| Do you think that the, besides the teachers, do you think the politician, or one of the reasons people are saying that Newsom, one of the reasons he's getting recalled is because this whole issue of the schools reopening? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He needs to be out. | |
| Yes. | ||
| Governor Newsom. | ||
| What did you just say? | ||
| Governor Newsom, they're saying one of the reasons he's being recalled is because parents are upset about the schools not being reopened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, that is one of the reasons. | |
| I have a sign in my yard. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And your sign says what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Get rid of Newsom. | |
| What? | ||
| Just the politicians, regardless of party, right? | ||
| I don't make this a partisan thing, but do you think the politicians are listening to the parents? | ||
| Do you think the elected officials of California are listening to the parents? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They do the same thing as parents do when a baby is a baby, pacifies. | |
| But I'm not going for it. | ||
| We're just going to fight until we get just what we're supposed to get. | ||
| And Steve, I got to tell you, the Master, I took it to the Master, and he's working it out. | ||
| He's just working it out. | ||
| And I believe that God's going to do it in His timing. | ||
| We have to have faith and believe that the God that we serve regulates hearts and minds. | ||
| And that's my belief. | ||
| And whatever God's will is, it will be done. | ||
| He said, ask in my name. | ||
| I know you probably don't have a lot of activities this week, but as you go forward, are there other rallies? | ||
| Are there other activities? | ||
| And we want to know how our audience can participate, how they go to your website, how they support letters, emails. | ||
| Just tell people what you need, because I think the children there touch people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
First of all, I want to thank the audience, Steve. | |
| They were, from the first time I was on, I have never in a whole 19, 20 years I've been doing this, had got so much love. | ||
| Letters, I have so many letters and donations that they really blessed us. | ||
| And so we put up a YouTube and then my email and the Facebook. | ||
| I know I have a lot of, a lot of them came on Facebook. | ||
| And I'm still tired because I'm still asking everybody individually. | ||
| And that's for today. | ||
| We're going to be passing out backpacks. | ||
| I mean, not backpacks, but Easter baskets today at three o'clock, along with parents signing, making sure that they signed in to option to go to school for their children or to stay home. | ||
| So we know that it's getting done. | ||
| And we've been doing it for about two weeks now. | ||
| So, Lydia, can you give us the coordinates? | ||
| Can you give us the Facebook, the YouTube, how our audience, because you are backed by popular demand. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Women of Watts and Beyond.com. | |
| Women of Watts and Beyond.com. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's email. | |
| And then the Twitter is, I mean, not Twitter, but I think it's Facebook is Women of Watts and Beyond. | ||
| All of them are women of Watts and beyond. | ||
| Okay, we'll make sure that's up in the live chat. | ||
| Lydia, I know you've got the Easter basket hanging out today. | ||
| We're going to have you back on before your next rallies. | ||
| The word from the war room posse is keep fighting. | ||
| You've been an inspiration to everybody of your dedication to the kids out there, and particularly for their getting a good education and getting them back in classrooms. | ||
| So you're a patriot and American hero and don't stop the fight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I know you in the audience put a little more push in me. | |
| I'm telling you, for the 19 and a half years I've been doing this, I've never received this much love. | ||
| And so I really appreciate it. | ||
| Asking that you guys continue to pray for me, that I do what God is calling me to do for His children. | ||
| And that's our children. | ||
| Not only in Watts, but all across the world. | ||
| Lydia Friend, founder of Women of Watts, thank you very much for joining us here in the War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you for having me. | |
| Let's make sure we get all that up in the live chat. | ||
| Look, this country, as we've had so many people on here, it's volunteers. | ||
| It's taking action. | ||
| It's about human agency. | ||
| And there you have a tremendous example of someone, a grandmother, who just said, hey, the kids need to be back in school. | ||
| In my day, we're in school. | ||
| And I'm going to take on the teachers unions. | ||
| I'm going to take on the L.A. | ||
| Unified School District. | ||
| I'm going to take on these politicians. | ||
| until people start listening to me and because one of the brave folks over at I think conservative treehouse made a, went to Watts and made this film about this rally, we were able to catch on and able to see it and have her on and it's just, I don't think we've gotten, I've gotten as much feedback on any one guest and I include Mike Lindell in there, Peter Navarro, we've had some great ones. | ||
| As Lydia, I think, touched something was about her fight against these long odds, right? | ||
| Of having to actually get the schools in. | ||
| I think it was on the... | ||
| On the rally that we saw on the great video that was made, I think she said, look, the kids in China and the kids throughout the world are not taking a year off and taking a year off. | ||
| The kids in Watts can't do it. | ||
| They're just going to fall behind. | ||
| And the place they're going to learn is in a school room. | ||
| It's a very, very powerful message. | ||
| But I also think you see that in the momentum she's got, It's how important human agency is. | ||
| This is all about agency. | ||
| It's all about your individual actions and what you set yourself to do. | ||
| And of course, Lydia is a very deeply religious woman. | ||
| Every time I talk to her, she's praying and praying for God for guidance. | ||
| Turn it over to Divine Providence and then get on with it. | ||
| Human action, human agency. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna go from a fighter in Watts, Lydia Friend, to a fighter for the American people about jobs and fighting on this pandemic. | ||
| Dr. Peter Navarro is in the War Room next. | ||

| War Room pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, he goes from a fight to prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt how this pandemic that's destroyed the American economy, if you don't think it was destroyed, $6 trillion in short-term spending. | ||
| That's just for the drop in aggregate. | ||
| Man, now they're talking another $2 trillion plus today in infrastructure. | ||
| Markey and other guys are putting $4 to $10 trillion called the Strive. | ||
| Is it the Strive Program? | ||
| The Strive Program, $10 trillion. | ||
| I just want to make sure I brought this for my next guest, Dr. Peter Navarro. | ||
| I think this guy was at Harvard with him, one of the Harvard professors, Kenneth Rogoff. | ||
| This time it's different. | ||
| It's the book that shows that, I guess, when you cross the line of total debt, outstanding, crossing GDP. | ||
| No nation has ever returned. | ||
| Their economies always eventually collapse. | ||
| They've never returned, of course. | ||
| We're blowing past that. | ||
| I want to bring in Dr. Peter Navarro. | ||
| Dr. Navarro, normally we don't do two-a-days with you. | ||
| I know you haven't done two-a-days since your high school football days. | ||
| So, we had to do it today because after your show this morning, which you were on fire, And really setting, you know, international news and all over about the Fauci virus. | ||
| A select subcommittee of the House came out and went after you personally about the time during the height of the pandemic back in, I think in March and April, February, March and April, when people were just kind of feeling this thing out, the Fog of War was all around us. | ||
| Yet your memos you were very clear, you know, you we we have to do this. | ||
| We have to shut the borders We have to if we're gonna ramp up here. | ||
| We have to ramp up ventilators. | ||
| We have to look at field hospitals We have to focus on capacity utilization a house select committee Of all the people in the world they can go after on the pandemic. | ||
| Holding Tony Fauci accountable for everything he said. | ||
| Going after the FDA. | ||
| The Trump administration, just like everybody, has got to be held accountable. | ||
| This is all about accountability. | ||
| The whole universe. | ||
| Of who they can look at over at the administrative state that is the healthcare system. | ||
| Who do they go after? | ||
| Dr. Peter Navarro and Donald J. Trump. | ||
| So what were the charges? | ||
| CNN was in meltdown. | ||
| What is going on and what is this select committee, subcommittee, basically what did they say you did, sir? | ||
| So first of all, that select subcommittee was started during the campaign for 2020 and the whole mission of that committee was to set me up effectively as the good guy. | ||
| They cited my memos and they said that I was trying to get a lot of stuff done. | ||
| But they set me up as a good guy to pound President Trump. | ||
| I mean, so now they've done like the follow-on after the election and their basic complaint was said I moved too fast to solve problems. | ||
| For the video audience, my background today is a picture of me actually up here with Benedict Arnold Pence here at the Kokomo GM factory. | ||
| I do this picture because this was the most amazing industrial organization feat ever accomplished by a president. | ||
| It will never be repeated. | ||
| After Cuomo Andrew was shouting about his hair on fire, how he didn't have enough ventilators, we were putting together a plan in Trump time where we actually used the Defense Production Act, Steve, to hammer General Motors to go into a venture with Ventec, the small high-tech company out in Seattle, And we put up a ventilator factory in 17 days. | ||
| And three days after that I had UPS trucks delivering ventilators to hospitals in Chicago and Gary, Indiana. | ||
| And it's like, The select committee is like all in a twist because we weren't like we weren't like dotting every I crossing every T in the middle of a pandemic when people are dying and trying to do the normal contracting process that you would do in Washington where it takes like 19 years instead of 17 days to get up a ventilator factory. | ||
| You know, my other beef with this is like, I get a call from CNN this morning. | ||
| It's like, oh, we'd like to, it's like 9 52. | ||
| We'd like a comment. | ||
| I say, okay, give me some time to read the documents and I'll get back to you. | ||
| And they go, no, no, we need your comment right away. | ||
| It's like, They just wanted to hammer us. | ||
| Anyway, that's the long and short of it. | ||
| The letter itself is actually quite complimentary to me and my team about getting stuff, but at the end of the day, President Trump Nobody in America who needed a ventilator didn't get a ventilator, and that's because Trump enabled me, deputized me, said, fix this. | ||
| We went out and fixed it. | ||
| This picture proves it in Kokomo. | ||
| Here's my buddy Admiral Polowczyk, one of my real favorites. | ||
| Unsung hero at FEMA who really got stuff done when Fauci wasn't doing stuff. | ||
| So that's the long and the short of it. | ||
| No whining allowed. | ||
| I wear this like a badge of honor. | ||
| I do everything again exactly the way I did it. | ||
| Okay, now they put out this massive tax bill today, the infrastructure, they're talking marketing, these guys talk about another $10 trillion that they want to spend. | ||
| This right here would take us, the COVID bill plus Biden's $2 trillion, right, will get us close to $10 trillion right there, and they're talking about another $10 trillion, they're talking trillions of dollars. | ||
| I mean, the numbers are such scale, it's unbelievable. | ||
| But they dropped this today in Pittsburgh. | ||
| When you still got the border, you still got the CDC director says, I'm scared. | ||
| I think we got another surge coming. | ||
| You got the schools are not open. | ||
| Is this to drop this now? | ||
| Is this a misdirection play? | ||
| Is this or they help to just catch the Republicans once again on their back feet? | ||
| So they're not, you know, you don't see McCarthy, anybody out there. | ||
| Consistently. | ||
| Mitch McConnell says, I'm not leaving. | ||
| I know there's a lot of discussion about that. | ||
| But there's no organized, outside the war room and a handful of others, you don't see an organized fight. | ||
| And there's so many pressing issues to drop a radical tax plan on top of a radical infrastructure and Green New Deal plan. | ||
| Give me the strategy here, Dr. Navarro. | ||
| Nothing is as it seems, okay? | ||
| This is kabuki theater going on. | ||
| When everybody wants an infrastructure bill, if you look at the polling, people want infrastructure because they know America's infrastructure is in the toilet, right? | ||
| The problem we have here is that when the Democrats do a spending bill, and they call it like a COVID bill, Only 9% of the bill is for COVID and the rest of it is a lot of redistributive income kind of things and bailouts of deep blue states. | ||
| So, my advice as a macroeconomist here is that they would do well to, it's like the snake eating the rabbit, they need to be able to digest this $2 trillion bill that they just passed Because it's going to have a lot of unintended consequences on the dollar, on inflation, on the markets, on all sorts of things. | ||
| It's going to itself, Steve, trigger a tax hike, which they're rushing to pass. | ||
| I think their strategy basically is to get as much done using the budget reconciliation process, which does not require anything more than a 50% vote, to just spend as much money as they can before the 2022 election and hope that that carries them over the hump there. | ||
| This is not well thought out, certainly. | ||
| It's a level of spending that's really incomprehensible in light of the $10 trillion we've already spent either directly or indirectly through the fiscal policy and the Federal Reserve. | ||
| I would say take a deep breath, Joe, and fix some things that are right before you, like the border, the border, the border, bringing home our domestic supply chains, and really tending to this, because this is not well thought out. | ||
| There's no rhyme or reason here other than to write the biggest checks in history, and Ken Rogoff might be right about this one. | ||
| Okay, this time it's different. | ||
| Once you cross that line, you don't come back. | ||
| A real last thing, we're going to be down, we're going to have people down the border tomorrow to update the border situation. | ||
| But last question for you, we've got about two minutes. | ||
| These vaccine passports, do you see the attention and particularly coming forward to the public about this Brazilian strain and exactly what's going on here with this surge that the CDC It's so concerned about. | ||
| Do you see the public messaging so people can kind of get their hands around exactly what's going on right now? | ||
| Very mixed messaging from the Biden administration. | ||
| I mean, on the one hand, they want to push the social distancing, the masks and the vaccines. | ||
| They want to keep the schools closed. | ||
| They want the country in semi-lockdown. | ||
| And frankly, that CDC director should be fired. | ||
| We do not need anybody who says, I'm scared, who's in a high level government position. | ||
| But at the same time that they're imposing all of these restrictions on the American people, there's nothing, there's no restrictions whatsoever at the border. | ||
| And we have this deadly Brazilian strain coming up along with Probably the UK strain, the South African strain, and the original China strain coming over the border. | ||
| It's catch and release. | ||
| And we know, Steve, just on the R0, which is the rate of contagion, if it's one, which would be a low number, that means for every illegal alien that comes across the border infected, they will infect one American. | ||
| And when you scale that up to a million or two million, Illegal aliens that we're likely to see this year. | ||
| And you just do the math, you know, this percent will have the virus, this percent will go to the hospital, this percent will die. | ||
| It's pretty clear that even as the Biden administration is trying to contain the virus in the traditional mask, vaccine, social distancing way north of the border, it's like Katie barred the door south. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It's just crazy policy, Steve. | ||
| It's murderous. | ||
| To me, it's either negligent homicide or it's murder on the altar of open borders. | ||
| Just nuts. | ||
| We've got to bounce. | ||
| We've got a heart out and we'll get back. | ||

| Okay, this story was on Tucker last night, came out yesterday, I think, in the New York Times. | ||
| Other things followed up on it. | ||
| The Washington Examiner. | ||
| He has a big article about it. | ||
| Rahim, the Matt Gaetz story. | ||
| Tucker said last night it was the weirdest interview he ever gave, and he said he didn't know if he got the order of the story straight. | ||
| This is both about extortion on Matt Gaetz, and then it's also about some sort of investigation of Matt Gaetz. | ||
| So what are the facts that we know that have been reported? | ||
| Well, I'll do exactly what Tucker did at the beginning of his segment yesterday. | ||
| There are so many parts of this story that are still not clear. | ||
| Timelines of events, different characters, different motivations, and I'm not sure I understand all of it yet. | ||
| But there is a new Washington Examiner report out this afternoon which attempts to clarify certain things, and indeed, although I feel like the Examiner kind of buried some of the leads here, They've had to, almost, because they've had to reintroduce the story to people who saw a little bit on Axios, a little bit in the New York Times, a little bit on Tucker and everybody. | ||
| Because you've had Jonathan Swan, you've had Swan's wife were in Politico, you've had the New York Times, you've got a lot of big... | ||
| You've got a lot of big people on this story. | ||
| And they're all approaching it from different angles, which by the way already tells you, this is kind of inside baseball, inside media and politics, that unless there is an agreed narrative before the story comes out, then you know A. the story's been rushed out for whatever purpose, it's not been briefed properly, there isn't a kind of a broad consensus in the media world about where the story is, where the story's going. | ||
| That's why President Trump ruined so many reporters lives because they found it impossible to adapt in real time to news that was coming out. | ||
| Same thing's going on with this story as well. | ||
| It's kind of ruining people's reputations already. | ||
| I think that New York Times report was was heinously under-detailed for going to press with something like calling a congressman under investigation for sex trafficking without having both sides of the story Well, they added to that story all the extortion stuff later, but not when they first, clearly the first story was somehow got leaked and they wanted to be first out and just pop that up there, right? | ||
| And this is the same New York Times that, and I know Jeremy Peters has been in the room, in the war room before, but these are the people who are using Media Matters as a research resource. | ||
| And so, you know, we shouldn't be surprised. | ||
| You're going to lose your paper record standing if that's the case, right? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I can't understand why... I mean, Jeremy's a skilled reporter. | ||
| Why he would need to go to Media Matters is beyond me. | ||
| But there are deals and there are linkages, and one of those deals is that when the New York Times goes with a story, the rest of the media kind of pulls in behind it. | ||
| But that didn't happen this time. | ||
| You didn't have this broad consensus. | ||
| And that's how you know that there are way more parts to this story than the New York Times first wanted to let people know. | ||
| So the Washington Examiner relitigates kind of all of that from late last night. | ||
| And I'm sure the audience can appreciate, you know, the fact that we even couldn't really necessarily talk about it this morning was because, hey, what is actually going on here? | ||
| What is the allegation? | ||
| Because some people are saying sex trafficking and some people are saying hotel rooms and some people are saying, you know, none of the above. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, the examiner goes back... Oh, he's being extorted by the Deep State. | |
| Well, exactly. | ||
| And so the gaze goes on, and I think it's fair to say that it was a rather bizarre interview on Tucker last night. | ||
| I don't think anybody... it's not a hit at anybody. | ||
| It just was. | ||
| By its nature, it had to be bizarre. | ||
| Because, as I say, the story had just dropped and nobody knew any details. | ||
| So Gates goes on there and he says, hey, and he names this guy and he says, hey, this person, I think, was it David, David McGee? | ||
| Yeah, McGee. | ||
| This person, David McGee, a former federal prosecutor, was trying to extort his family and... | ||
| Gates's family. | ||
| His father's a very prominent politician, I think, real estate guy down in Florida. | ||
| The guy that Matt Gates named on live national television last night is a very prominent former DOJ official. | ||
| I think he's been a U.S. | ||
| attorney, but he's a very prominent guy down in that part of the world. | ||
| And I think one of the stories I read said that Gates's father wore a wire under the direction of the FBI and actually wore it to the guy's law firm and taped him there? | ||
| That is one of the assertions that is being made, that actually it was on premises at the law... is it Besan Lane? | ||
| I think that's it. | ||
| That Don Gates, Matt's father, Congressman Matt Gates' father, actually had a wire on and was recording on behalf of, or at the request of, law enforcement. | ||
| So, of course, everybody's going, what the heck is Matt Gates talking about? | ||
| You can't just say, you know, your dad's wearing a wire at the FBI and a prominent lawyer down there. | ||
| But then, sure enough, Today, the Washington Examiner just moments ago drops the detail, and the detail includes text messages, text messages that appear to be This person, whether it's whether it's McGee or somebody acting on behalf of McGee, texting and saying, hey, Don Gates, I'd like to talk to you about your son. | ||
| I have a plan that can make this go away. | ||
| The plan that we're then told includes $25 million in what Matt Gates calls an extortion attempt. | ||
| But secondary to that, we also have evidence Now, a picture of an email sent between the US Assistant Attorney David Goldberg and Don Gates' lawyers that say, I can confirm your client is working with my office as well as the FBI at the government's request in order to determine if a federal crime has been committed. | ||
| This has been discussed with and approved by the FBI. | ||
| As well as the leadership of my office and components of Maine justice. | ||
| The government thanks you for working cooperatively with the FBI. | ||
| Best, David L. Goldberg, Assistant United States Attorney, Northern District of Florida. | ||
| Now here's the other thing. | ||
| That's the lead, but I was led with that. | ||
| Yes, Washington Examiner Editor, gotta get it up in the headline. | ||
| No, but also McGee. | ||
| Came out during the day and said Matt Gaetz is a stone- before this was dropped, came out and said Matt Gaetz is a stone-cold liar. | ||
| Right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| There was no wiretap. | ||
| I don't know what he's talking about, essentially, right? | ||
| He's wrong. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, he names a guy on national TV, then the guy comes out and says he's a liar. | ||
| Never happened. | ||
| Now you drop this, which looks like evidence, or it looks like it's either emails or text messages. | ||
| And this is on the extortion front. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Well, and here's the thing. | ||
| We don't even know what's happening on this other front because it looks like, and I don't want to get ahead of the story, but they were promising in this extortion that whatever review, because Matt Gaetz says I'm not a target, but whatever was happening at this either investigation or grand jury, whatever it was, was going to go away As the, uh, was going to go away as the, uh, as this extortion, these people on the extortion promise, correct? | ||
| Is that what generally it is? | ||
| That the, that the, that the story, as it says in this text message, I have a plan that can make his future legal and political problems go away. | ||
| Now, again, this, this is so bizarre that there's talk of, uh, you know, Getting a presidential pardon from Joe Biden for Congressman Gates and all these crazy things that were that were floated in this whole exchange back and forth. | ||
| What this ends up looking like is a pretty nasty kind of local business and extortion attempt. | ||
| Now obviously I'm not going to say that I know what it is yet, but that's what it looks like now that more evidence has come to light. | ||
| And, and I'll just add to it, anybody who's run with the story without all the context, such as the New York Times, I mean, this is the sort of thing that editors would have to resign for once upon a time. | ||
| But sometimes you have to report what's the breaking news and what you know. | ||
| If you don't know that, you caveat. | ||
| Here's why, I don't want to say it's a local story. | ||
| If McGee was not associated with DOJ and U.S. | ||
| attorneys and everything like that, you could say, hey, maybe these are local business guys. | ||
| Somehow, this relates back, is related back to at least, it looks like either the Justice Department or people in the Justice Department, at least this guy is a former I don't think Matt Gaetz has come out and done any interviews today, right? | ||
| Hasn't talked to the press. | ||
| I mean, he obviously is talking to the printed press, but Politico had a story earlier in the day. | ||
| And so people are piecing this together, but nobody's done the definitive, I guess, Washington examiners. | ||
| And is this the first time, to your knowledge, that actually real documents have come forward in this, like text messages and emails? | ||
| Yeah, so then people will necessarily be wondering, okay, well why did he not just give this stuff to the New York Times last night? | ||
| Or why didn't he have this stuff, you know, on screen during the Tucker Carlson interview? | ||
| You gotta understand, if, if Matt Gaetz's version of events is true, and I would go through this and say that Matt Gaetz certainly appears to have more truth on his side than the other guys do in this. | ||
| He's provided evidence, right? | ||
| And he's been willing to go on television and state his case, which is more than we can say for the other side. | ||
| When that happens in such a narrow period of time, you think that you're cooperating with law enforcement, and your dad's wearing wires, and there are these documents that you have. | ||
| You think, okay, we're going to go through the formal and proper channels to deal with all of this, and then the New York Times Just drops a half-baked story like this. | ||
| There's no time to go through all your devices and your phones and your emails and go, right, okay, let's make sure that Tucker has this on air before, you know, we go on and blah blah. | ||
| You just get out there and you try and state your case as quickly and as to the point as possible. | ||
| And I know a lot of people found that interview bizarre last night, but I think, again, under the circumstances, I think he did the best that he possibly could. | ||
| The second best thing you can do on a second day of this story is provide the evidence, and that's what we're starting to see now. | ||
| So the question will be now, because this has trended on Twitter for the last 24 hours, and of course it would, Will the reporters who have been chasing this story for 24 hours report these developments, or will the story die like the Boulder, Colorado story died? | ||
| Here's the, as soon as he was looked at, as Boulder, Colorado has gone into... The narrative, if the narrative doesn't work, it's in the memory hole. | ||
| If that was a white Christian nationalist, you'd be, this is all CNN would play. | ||
| Oh, no, hold on, just real quickly on that, because I was listening to Saki from yesterday, today, And it occurred to me, Biden, immediately after Boulder happened, Biden said, I'm going there. | ||
| I'm going to go there. | ||
| And then he never went. | ||
| How does that happen? | ||
| No interest. | ||
| It's not part of the narrative. | ||
| Do you think that the, are you saying, do you think the New York Times, Washington Post, whoever is being published on this, Politico, others, have had these documents? | ||
| Do you think have not released them? | ||
| Do you think, did they say they had an exclusive? | ||
| I haven't seen the story. | ||
| I just sent it to you because we're in the middle of the broadcast. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Do they say it is exclusive? | ||
| I don't think it uses the word exclusive anywhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which means somebody else has seen them or had them. | |
| But the Washington Examiner was the first up. | ||
| The other thing I want to get to when we get back. | ||
| I wish it had been the National Polls. | ||
| So much else to talk about is McCarthy. | ||
| They asked McCarthy about this this morning. | ||
| Instead of just saying, hey, there's all kind of allegations flowing out there. | ||
| Let's get some facts and figure what's going on. | ||
| You know, he jumps ahead of it, makes a story himself, says, oh, we'll pull him and throw him out. | ||
| You know, after it was a Ted Lieu, you know, a hater, you know, says something like a short commercial break. | ||
| Raheem Kassam, Stephen K. Bannon will be back in the war room in just a second. | ||
|
unidentified
|
War Room. | |
| We rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the C.C.P. | ||
| War Room, Pandemic, with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, we've got breaking news out of Arizona. | ||
| Just came to us that they've now, the Senate, Karen Fon, the President of the Senate, press release just put out, Arizona Senate hires auditor to review 2020 election in Maricopa County. | ||
| They've now hired a slew of technology services to do a, Arizona State leadership announced today, hired a team of independent auditors to complete a comprehensive Full forensic audit of the 2020 election in Maricopa County including a hand recount of all ballots. | ||
| That would be 2.1 million ballots. | ||
| So that fight in Arizona continues. | ||
| There's a whole list of companies out there that are that are nominated and so. | ||
| So you have you have Wake Technology Services, Cypher LLC, Digital Discovery and Cyber Ninjas Inc. | ||
| Pretty impressive. | ||
| And they fought this one. | ||
| Mark Fincham got us that. | ||
| Mark Fincham, I think he's running for Secretary of State out there. | ||
| He's entered a primary to run for Secretary of State. | ||
| So a lot going on in Arizona. | ||
| And of course we got the news in the last day or so that they did an audit I think it was out in Montana or something, this audit, and they found that- In Montana. | ||
| One in 14, one in 14 ballots were not cast appropriately. | ||
| They had something missing from the, that shouldn't have been counted. | ||
| This is what, this is what Mike Lindell and these guys have been saying, but in Montana. | ||
| And there it was done by the great, by the great, the guys did such great work on, for the NRA and for guns. | ||
| And so this is the Montana thing, Sound Service. | ||
| We're going to get more to that early next week. | ||
| But another controversy. | ||
| Remember, until you solve the problem of 2003, you cannot go forward to beyond. | ||
| You've got to get people... Listen, the deplorables are saying consistently that until we know exactly what happened and people are held accountable, we're not going to move on. | ||
| They're passing laws in Georgia. | ||
| There's a huge fight in Georgia. | ||
| I think Coca-Cola came out today and said, oh, we don't, you know, we think this law is not a good law. | ||
| You've got the Georgia citizens, the deplorables saying, no, we need, We need voter integrity, and we need to know that every ballot that's counted is a legal ballot. | ||
| Every ballot counted has got a chain of custody and a chain of title to it that you actually know it from. | ||
| So it's a huge fight on that. | ||
| But a lot of the deplorables, and I keep telling people this, number one, you've got to continue to focus on November 3rd. | ||
| And people say, well, all this is made up. | ||
| Well, if it's so made up, why is it Wisconsin? | ||
| Assembly out there who are not a bunch of radicals. | ||
| They've now got subpoena power to bring people in because of what happened in Green Bay. | ||
| Now you got this thing, an official document coming out of Montana, right, which is not even a state, but just not even a battleground state. | ||
| In Arizona, they're about to do a hand count, and this is 2.1 million ballots. | ||
| This is not a small endeavor. | ||
| Plus they've got recall petitions out there. | ||
| They got recalls looks like I think they even odds they're going to recall the county supervisor in Maricopa County for forcing the state senate out there to take kind of dramatic action and not really work with them. | ||
| And Georgia just passed this law but there's a county in Georgia that they're going to go through and I think a court's going to uphold that they can actually do a count of 30,000 ballots that they say are phony ballots. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So you have their fights all over the place. | ||
| So when CNN, these guys say unsubstantiated, well, OK, well, go check with some courts and go check in some of these counties from Antrim County up in Michigan to the county down in Georgia to the state assemblies that people are still investigating. | ||
| Now, places have either have full forensic audits, hand count, or you have subpoena power. | ||
| You know, and to me, I have said from day one, Wisconsin is the one that's absolutely stone cold provable with the ICs, the indefinitely confines. | ||
| That's why the media has never covered it. | ||
| They don't want to talk about it. | ||
| The people in Wisconsin are not a bunch of radicals. | ||
| They're sitting there going, this is outrageous. | ||
| Now this incident in Green Bay with this official, and then he didn't want to come and testify. | ||
| That's when they gave him subpoena power. | ||
| This fight has not stopped. | ||
| Then it gets down to, And this is not choosing a side on the Dominion versus the Mike Lindell, although both sides are dug in. | ||
| And, you know, it looks like Dominion, they're in the Daily Beast of actually ramping up and getting a bigger legal team. | ||
| And Lindell's, you know, not just doubling down, he's quadrupling down with these new films coming out and this new information he says he's got. | ||
| So that's going to go to trial. | ||
| That's going to go into a court and be hammered out over time. | ||
| But you don't see those guys backing down. | ||
| But still the question gets to be, and I hear this from deplorables all the time, Unless we get the machines out, you get back to humans counting these ballots. | ||
| And these are not saying, hey, they think this stuff goes to China or goes to a server in France or they don't care. | ||
| They're saying, hey, take the machines out, right, and start doing a hand count. | ||
| Then you look at H.R.1, what they've done, H.R.1 and S.R.1. | ||
| These are radical solutions at a federal level because they're trying to fight what's happening at the state level. | ||
| My point this is a fight and it's going to be a fight every day until the next election and people and but it goes back just like Wuhan goes back to that lab. | ||
| Everything the railhead of this goes back to November 3rd and I can tell you that the if people had listened to Raheem Kassam and Bill McGinley. | ||
| back in July of 2020, right? And why the Trump lawyers didn't listen to you guys in the war room and what was going on is pretty shocking because you basically called every shot that was going to happen. And I've got more on it as well. | ||
| More coming on the Integrity Project? | ||
| This is the thing I've been working on and it's just frying my brain at the moment, but effectively... I notice you're a little out of sorts. | ||
| I'm a little frazzled by this. | ||
| You're really getting into some really dirty details here. | ||
| So what if I told you that I have the Chinese Communist Party Claiming that people like Fareed Zakaria, Jack Dorsey, Nils Gilman, Gordon Brown, Heltouring Schmidt, Pierre Oumidyar, what if I told you that I have evidence that the Chinese Communist Party regard them as assets of Beijing? | ||
| I would say you'd have to have some pretty good proof of that. | ||
| Coming soon. | ||
| That's pretty shocking. | ||
| Those are pretty prominent names. | ||
| That's pretty shocking. | ||
| Pretty shocking. | ||
| Pretty shocking. | ||
| So you're going to be able to back that up? | ||
| I believe I will be able to stand it up by this time tomorrow. | ||
| Tomorrow? | ||
| On Holy Week? | ||
| On Holy Thursday? | ||
| Okay, we've got a Holy Thursday. | ||
| You've read the St. | ||
| Valentine's Day Massacre. | ||
| I guess we've got the Holy Thursday. | ||
| I mean, that's pretty... | ||
| Dramatic. | ||
| The National Pulse, I'm going to give you a hat tip. | ||
| You're reporting on this entire thing, on the election, on Wuhan. | ||
| There's nobody who's done a better job than the team over at the National Pulse. | ||
| Peter Navarro and the team have done a fantastic job. | ||
| Warren, you know, but you guys have done, have grinded down into the details. | ||
| You have Peter Daszak. | ||
| He gave that interview. | ||
| We'll be on the border tomorrow with a team also down in Central America and all over. | ||
| Tomorrow's show is going to be hot. | ||
| Make sure you're here at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning in the War Room. |
